Motorcycle season is underway  and you can expect to see Harleys everywhere, but not like this one.  For one reason, Steppenwolf is synonymous with motorcycling and the freedom of the road since Peter Fonda took that famous ride 'Easy Rider'.  Secondly, Harley Davidson is an American icon so now imagine the two merged.

The motorcycle was designed by Steppenwolf drummer and is a one of a kind.  After many years of enjoying the bike himself h has decided to let it find a new home.

The dealer Paradise Harley Davidson in Oregon gives this description of the bike:

Ron created a motorcycle with a retro feel from a 1996 Road King Police Edition.  It’s not flashy or outrageous. It’s a true riders motorcycle with personal touches influenced from his other passion, the music of Steppenwolf. 

For over seventeen years, Ron has seen much of the country on his motorcycle with untold stories of beautiful journeys and rides with people from rock’s innermost circle.  Ron has been on several celebrity rides with Jay Leno and peers.  He’s ridden the Trail of Tears and taken his motorcycle to numerous other biker events.  He’s even had his bike parked on stage during Steppenwolf concerts.  There's a host of memorabilia painted on or etched into the motorcycle. The airbrushed tank artwork is taken directly from Steppenwolf's Slow Flux album; the timing cover from Hour of the Wolf; and the gas cap is engraved with Live at 25. The tank is autographed by all of Steppenwolf's band members including John Kay Ron Hurst Michael Wilk Danny Johnson and Gary Link.

Too cool and it'll only set you back a little over 14,000 bucks. Bargain! Click here to see more images. Need more encouragement?? Watch this.
